If you need more proof that drag is in fact trans-face, look no further than this quote from asshole Ru Paul, regarding allowing trans women to drag.
"Regarding transgender women who have had breast implants or undergone hormone replacement therapy, RuPaul said they would 'probably not' be eligible to compete on the show — 'it changes the whole concept of what we’re doing' — and doubled down on Twitter by comparing trans drag queens to steroid-abusing professional athletes, before apologizing amid a wave of backlash."

Big drag daddy thinks *trans* femmes specifically have an ~advantage~. He said nothing at that time about cis women. That speaks a lot to what big drag daddy thinks about what drag actually is impersonating. Wouldn't cis women be the best at impersonating women? (The answer is no, when you become a woman, you get to decide what womanhood is. But let's not pretend Ru Paul is that educated on queer theory.)
This is just one example but drag daddy has the most social capital and massively influences the narrative of drag and therefore trans people.

Okay maybe you're not like convinced because one ~influencer~ had a bad hot take once. In the same article:
"By the 1800s, that context was well on its way in America. White men often portrayed female minstrel show characters, milking 'man in a dress' humor alongside the shows racism. Yet even as the public devoured female impersonation in entertainment, cross-gender expression was otherwise thoroughly policed."
The article sources literally black-face.com http://black-face.com/minstrel-female-impersonators.htm
Drag is trans-face. They literally used it alongside blackface performances for the same reason, to the same audiences.
It was acceptable solely as a form of entertainment to joke about the idea of clowning it up. Note I am NOT saying drag is woman-face. I don't believe the evidence supports drag overall as heavily oppressive of cis women.
If you're not convinced still because the way things start is not always how they are, I refer you back to the Ru Paul post I just made which is in fact contemporary under our current system of social capital and influencers.

So, I finished my first day of partial hospitalization, and, while I'm not 100% sure, I think it's gonna help a lot. I'm quite a bit more positive about how things are gonna go moving forward. Obviously this won't cure me of my depression (if only, though, right?), but, with some work, I should hopefully be able to be back in my therapist's office a couple weeks from now to maintain progress I make in PHP, as well as work on the less pressing issues that I have to ignore for now.

You should not have to prove that you're nonbinary any more than cis people need to prove that they're cis.

cannibalism
Although preservation is a necessary condition of eating someone who died centuries ago, could a European of this time period eat human jerky made from a recently hanged person and not feel any guilt?
Hm...was the cannibalism/not cannibalism distinction religious? Could a Christian eat a non-Christian? Something something eucharist

cannibalism
Europeans used to consume Egyptian mummies as medicine. During the same period they were actively doing this, they would frequently accuse indigenous peoples of cannibalism.
Why did they not consider mummy consumption cannibalism? Was it only cannibalism if the person being eaten had been alive recently? Was it about race? How does that relate to Europeans pretending that ancient Egyptians, who they were eating, were white? Or was it because mummies were preserved and not fresh?
Transphobia/TERF bullshit
Glad that one of the first things I got to see this morning was an article bitching about trans women competing in women's sports. Even better when they're referred to not as a trans woman but a, and I quote, "biological male". /s

I swear to god I am so fucking tired of seeing breadtube apologists acting like we go out of our way to cancel people or look for reasons to infight whenever we call them out for shitty behaviour. Seriously, this is classic DARVO tactics, and if I ever see you do shit like this in my presence :

I will fucking break my foot up your ass. I don't care who you are, you do NOT get to dismiss and diminsh someone's pain just you can get to feel less guilty for sucking up to a popular leftist Youtuber.
And moreover, if you think that them being gone would be a detriment to the trans community, you're wrong. Other people will replace them, people who are much less bougie and condescending, and much more compassionate to the people who have to live these causes. Contrapoints apologists can go fucking choke on a live grenade.
